Beer Scout: Fonta Flora’s farmhouse expansion to open in June

After more than two years of planning and development, Fonta Flora Brewery’s Whippoorwill Farm expansion facility is nearly complete.

Located on a historic dairy farm within Lake James State Park, the operation — which features a 15-barrel brewhouse feeding four 30-barrel fermenters and two 30-barrel brite tanks — is already turning out beer that has been packaged and distributed throughout the region. A tasting room with a spacious outdoor patio overlooking Linville Gorge is slated to welcome guests with a soft opening in June.
